ScholarSnack is a quarterly event open to all Drexel students and interested faculty and staff. It is a venue for Drexel students to discuss their experiences in exploring information and data resources.

Light snacks will be served, and invited students will share brief presentations about the discoveries they have made while building their information and data research skills.

REFRESH provides an introduction to locating evidence-based material using resources licensed by the Drexel University Libraries. This session will detail how to formulate a clinical question and discuss levels of evidence. A demonstration of PubMed’s Clinical Queries search feature, DynaMed, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews will be included. Specific features in Clinical Key and AccessMedicine will also be explored.

During each quarterly event, a distinguished Drexel professor will address this year’s theme by reflecting on how the dissemination of research through publication is critical to the development of knowledge in a particular field.

This year’s speakers have been selected from those Drexel researchers named in the top 1 percent by citations in their field by Clarivate Analytics’ 2016 Highly Cited Researchers list and include Yury Gogotsi, PhD; Ana V. Diez Roux, MD; and Gordon T. Richards, PhD.

To compile the 2016 list, Clarivate Analytics looked at highly cited papers published between 2004 to 2014 and identified authors whose papers rank in the top 1% by citations in each of its 22 main subject fields. This analysis named more than 3,000 researchers with global influence in 2016, including four Drexel authors who were recognized at last year’s annual Celebrating Drexel Authors Event.

This quarter, we are pleased to welcome our guest speaker

Drexel University
Dean and Distinguished University Professor of Epidemiology
Dornsife School of Public Health

Dr. Diez Roux will address this year’s theme by reflecting on why and how dissemination of research through publication is critical to the development of knowledge in a particular field.

About ScholarSip
Now in its seventh year, ScholarSip is an annual event series hosted by the Drexel University Libraries that seeks to nurture Drexel’s intellectual life and cross-campus community through informal gatherings where faculty and professional staff exchange ideas sparked by greater awareness of interdisciplinary research. Each event includes social time to build acquaintances and a short “food for thought” presentation from a member of the Drexel community.

For more information about ScholarSip or to suggest a future topic, please contact Libraries Communications Manager Stacy Stanislaw at svs22@drexel.edu
